Though my time with HM was brief (due to getting hired by WildStorm), it was a tremendous learning experience. Kevin Eastman and Howard Jurofsky were two of the best people I've ever worked for, and putting together a coffee table book and calendar first by hand, then on a primitive computer system, was exciting and challenging. I cherish my short time.
